Help me pay for septoplasty at Saint Luke Hospital
After a large ovarian cyst, Lestari was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇩 West Java, Indonesia946 views
In September I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,050 short.
Doctors at Saint Luke Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $320
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lestari?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about travel and lodging for the family, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Saint-Denis this morning. Take care.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Grenoble donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bandung.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lestari.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. travel and lodging for the family is the biggest at $50. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from León.
